Chester History & Heritage is passionate about Chester’s rich and varied history so visit us and talk to our friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable team of staff and volunteers and go back in time with us!

We have a large number of resources available, including the Cheshire Imagebank. To find out more, visit our collections pages.
